This is our film Future Calls!! I hope you enjoy it!!

 For the second part of re-filming there wasn’t much to do to be honest. We listened to what are friends/peers said and tried our best. For one part, we did re-film the outside of my house when it was a little bit darker. We did this because the time or the place is supposed to be at a later time. Such as, evening or dawn time. We thought about re-filming some parts only because some of our clips had a very muddy look. Ludji recommended for us to re-film sometime last week. However, we thought it was fine because it wasn’t the best time or to choose time re-film. The clips appearances weren’t affecting the point that we were trying to get across, so we decided to just leave as is. It’s not the best quality but we should’ve thought it a little more through. We used Ludji’s phone to recorded most of the parts and completely forgot her phone was cracked on the back. Meaning that her camera was also affected by cracks. Honestly, re-filming wasn’t our main concern, like at all. So, it reall

 For re-editing the blog, it wasn’t that much to do. We had a few comments from our peers of what could’ve been better. So, we followed these critiques. For one, we lowered the music down on the part where the dialogue starts. This is when the two characters are having a conversation over the phone. We fixed this because although the dialogue might be not the most important part of the film, it was essential that we fix it. This is to get the viewers a clearer understanding of what the two characters are talking about. We lowered to an enough volume that it doesn’t sound like the audio is overpowering what the characters are saying. Valentina also made a comment about how the music sounds like it started over. She means that at a certain point you can tell the music is over. Towards the middle of the video you can obviously hear that the music starts again. This is because we ran out of the audio so we had to use it again. To fix this we removed the beginning of the second audio and tr

 For our film we got two people to critique our blog. To be honest, they had absolutely nothing bad to say and thought that it was really good. Lyne, said that she didn’t think anything was wrong. She said she loved the choice of music. She also said that she loved how it got louder at the climax of the film. She said that she actually got scared on the part, which was the climax of the film. This was a bonus because our movie genre is horror, so that’s the whole idea. Ludji also asked another friend for critiques. Her name was Valentina. She also had nothing bad to say about our film too and thought that it was really good. She said that are video was really good. She hoped that her turns out like ours. The only critique she had was that at one point it sounded like the music sounds like it restarts. Valentina said that the cut of the music in the back was a little obvious. So we are going to fix it. She said to just try to make it smoother and blend in better. Just so that it’s not o

 For editing, we did re-edit a lot of things. For one, at first I was going to edit our sequence. However, Joel said he would edit so he did. I was using Alight Motion to edit the film but we switched to a software called Danvinci Resolve. One thing we also changed was using a split screen at the beginning at the film. This why Ludji and I were facing the way would be facing if we were face to face. The purpose of splitting the screen was to show we were in different places. We also re-edited the clips where we were having a conversation. The pauses between each piece of dialogue was very long and made it obvious that we weren’t really on the phone. So, I clipped the videos after realizing how long it was. Another thing we re-edited was title of the film. In my blog about titles and fonts I mentioned that we used a font called “horror” however we used a different website and it didn’t have that font on there. Also, the title was at the beginning and I had to fix it because there is an

 As for re-filming our open sequence, we didn’t do much re-filming. When we soon found out that we had did our slightly wrong, we did think about the idea of re-filming. However, we figured that we wouldn’t enough time to even re-film, since it was nearing the end of February. One did we re-film were several parts of our opening sequence. Such as, re-filming the scene if someone laughed or if noise was in the background. At one point we did have to re-film a part only because we changed our mind about using my camera. The camera had really good quality and thought it would be best to use. However, my camera runs on batteries and was about to go dead. So, we re-filmed the part where Ludji is on the phone talking to the other person, me. If we were to re-film,  we would probably re-film the outside of my house. When I recorded the outside of my home, it was still pretty bright outside. The time taking place during this film is like evening, dusk time. Showing the house while it’s still b
